at all times as well as against violence ou account of any vote that he may intend to give ns against conspiracy because of any that he may already have given " the peace of the united slates there

be ascer tained and lake effect and ihat offenders may be brought before the couns foi punishment the l'nited states marshals are au thorized to appoint as many deputy mar shals as may he required to cany out the provisions of the law and the attorney general further says : in this connection i advise that you and each of your deputies general nnd special have a right to summon to vour assistance in preventing and quelling dis order every person in the district above fifteen years of age whatever ru iy be th occupation whether civilian nr nol ami including the military of all denomina tions â€” militia soldiers marines â€” all of whom aie alike bound to obey you the fact that are organized as military bodies whether of the slate or of the united states under the immediate command ot their own officers does not in anywise affect their legal character â€” they arc still the posse comitatus in this connection the general of the army has issued the following order to such troops as may be called on to assist iu quelling any distui banco that may arise : officers commanding troops summon ed to aid marshals or sheriffs must judgo for themselves whether the service is law ful or necessary and compatible with their ordinary miliiary duties they must limit action absolutely to proper aid in execution of the lawful process exhi bited by the marshal or sheriff if time permits every demand should be forward ed to the president for his orders and in all cases the highest officer whoso orders can be given in time to meet the emer gency mill alone assume the responsibili ty of the action tlie clearness ar.d precision with w hics the duties and responsibilities of the mili tary are defined are entitled lo the high est consideration it is to be regretted that the attorney general in his instruc tions to his marshals who are clothed with such extraordinary and even dan gerous powers did not manifest that same respect for civil liherty which is shown by ihe distinguished soldier the people of north carolina are not less proverbial for tlieir love of liberty than their respect for law and order and in the exciting contest of 1874 not even a simple affray is known to have occurred ou the day of election withiu the borders of our state most of our people were doubtless not aware of tbe existence of such a law upon the statute books yet they have nothing to fear from its faith ful execution on the contrary if it will but lend to relieve the minds of our friends at the noi th of their misappre hensions as to the justness ol the return of the election we anticipate the most favorable result each freeman should therefore be stimulated anew to make the majority in favor of reform and recon ciliation so decided as hereafl.Â»-r to dis pense with such perfunctionary and ob noxious interference the conservative voters constituting the law and order parly of the state hare â€¢ ut ihe slightest cause to appreln n.i any incollve.niei.ee irom -, faith

an assurance of peace and protection at every polling place but a guarantee of a lair elec tion those colored people who have de sired to vote the democratic ticket but who are ami have uniformly been deter red by the proscription and intimidation ofthe masses ol their race who were and arc incited by unscrupulous leaders should especially welcome the action that has been taken by the government au thorities they can now attend the polls and vote the ticket of their choice with out tiie fear of molestation either on account of any vote they may intend to give or because ot any ihey may al ready

â– i was introduced to gov holden on the cars between raleigh and fayetteville on my way to the baptist state convention nov 1st and had a very plea-ant con versation with him i was pleased with him and he seemed to be pleased with me during the sesson of the convention he in vited me to dine with him at judge bux ton's which i did we walked iroin the church to judge buxton's residence took dinner anil returned iu a carriage to the church during most of this time the topic of con versation was the political record of gov holden of which lie spoke freely and 1 thought frankly he confessed liis regret for having allowed the interests ofhis party to sway his better judgment antl declared that he was forever done with politics lie saitl that the kirk war was forced upon him l.y unwise and unsafe counsellors that mirk was not the man of his choice but came so recommended that he could do nothing but appoint him to the command of the troops that the whole thing was against his better judgment and he regret ted that he had acted as a partisan ami not as a christian he said the murder of stephens was for political effect and his murderers were thought to be of his own party he spoke of the rope found on the neck of the mur dered man and the rinding of the coil from which it was cut as likely to elicit evidence unfavorable to parties who were supposed to be friends of stephens
